"Bruce Jenner didn&amp;apos;t go under the knife for vanity. The Olympic athlete and Keeping Up With the Kardashians star underwent nose surgery recently for skin cancer, he confirmed to E! News in a statement. The reality star had a cancerous tissue removed from his nose and required 30 stitches.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I was diagnosed with a form of melanoma called Basal cell carcinoma and have undergone Mohs surgery to remove it,&amp;quot; the 63-year-old told E!. &amp;quot;I have been struggling with this for several years and appreciate all of the support and prayers while I continue to fight the battle against skin cancer.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nJenner first caused a stir when he stepped out on Tuesday, Sept. 17, wearing a noticeable bandage on his nose. The Olympian had surgery just last week to remove the skin cancer, which is part of an ongoing treatment.\r\n\r\nThis isn&amp;apos;t the first time Jenner has battled the disease. In January 2012, he was spotted with a large scar on the right side of his face after doctors had removed malignant tissue."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
